Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of carriage, and particularly motor vehicles for the transport of goods such as motor lorries or trucks, in which the rear wheels are provided as known with mudguards of metal sheet or stiff plastic material which are secured to the frame by ring means tightened by screws or bolts to suitable, generally elongated (solid or hollow) members integral with the frame.
  • the present mudguards described herein are installed by screwing first the relative support means to the mudguards and then tightening such support means to rods or support means integral with the frame of the truck. Such installation requires obviously a long time and is difficult especially if electric tools or screwdrivers are not available.
  • the main object of the present invention is to overcome the problems mentioned above by providing a mudguard provided with coupling means to fix it to the frame including quick coupling/release fixing means. This has been accomplished by providing a mudguard comprising one or more means to couple the support members (integral with the frame of the vehicle) to the mudguard and means to snap-couple/release quickly the mudguard to such support means .
  • Figure 1 is an exploded view showing the mudguard according to the invention and all relative assembling members for its coupling to the support rod integral with the frame of the vehicle,-
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the portion relative to the connection between the snap-coupling/release means and the support rod as well as the fitting of the latter into its housing in the mudguard body;
  • Figures 3 and 4 show three-dimensional particulars relative to the opposite end of the support rod housing, of the hidden lower side and visible upper side of the mudguard, respectively;
  • Figures 5 and 6 are perspective, front and back views of the end plug which is applied to each mudguard support rod to provide the removable snap-fastening thereof;
  • FIG. 7 similar to Figure 1, shows in greater detail the several parts of the invention
  • Figures 8 and 9 are perspective, front and back views of the guide and centering bush which is placed inside the support rod housings.
  • the preferred embodiment has a mudguard of plastic material including a main body 1 provided preferably with two generally cylindrical housings or recesses 2 formed crosswise thereto and facing the support transversal rods 3 integral with the frame of the vehicle and means 4 for coupling/releasing quickly the mudguard to/from (preferably tubular) support rods 3, which means 4 is preferably placed at the free ends of rods 3.
  • Such quick snap-coupling/release means 4 consists of a sort of "plug” of resistant elastic material which is applied to the free end of each support rod 3 so that as the main body of mudguard 1 is inserted in its position of use, such "plug” reaches and comes out of the output end of the tubular housing 2, and its teeth or “prongs” can snap-spread, thus preventing the plug from entering again accidentally into housing 2 of the mudguard .
  • housing 2 of rod 3 can be seen only from the inside of the mudguard, while only the shape of the housing can be seen from the outside thereof, such housing being formed in the body of the mudguard with a suitable local increase in the thickness.
  • end plug 4 shown clearly in Figures 5 and 6, it should be appreciated that it consists essentially of a hollow body with a dead bottom 4E able to snap-come out of housing 2 of the mudguard body 1 , while the opposite end 41 is able to be snap- fitted into the open end of a support rod 3 of the mudguard.
  • This second end 41 of plug 4 is provided with quick coupling/release means consisting of one or more tongues 5 disposed symmetrically along the periphery of the plug, said tongues 5 being able to snap-fit into suitable slots or holes 6 formed in the vicinity of the free ends of support rods 3 until they abut against a suitable peripheral shoulder 7 that projects radially from the body of the plug.
  • plug end 4E that snap-fits axially into the mudguard at the end of housing 2 as mentioned above, consists of an elastic frustum conical body which deforms elastically by getting narrower radially to cross the end hole of housing 2 which has a lower diameter than that of the housing, and to become wider again up to the initial size so as to be axially blocked.
  • the input opening of housing 2, through which support rod 3 in inserted when the mudguard is installed, is preferably provided with a guide centering bush 8 for the rod which guides the rod during the insertion inside its housing 2.
  • guide bush 8 described above is advisable as housing 2 of support rod 3 has a draft to ease its withdrawal from the die after moulding.
  • dead plug 4 prevents the dirt from entering support rod 3 so as to keep always effective the quick snap-coupling/release system that otherwise could be blocked by the mud which hardens inside the plug.
  • two supports which are generally similar to those currently used, the first of which (the inside support which is • nearer to the frame of the vehicle) acts as a guide for the support rod, and the second (the outside support) is provided with the quick snap-coupling/release system described above.
  • the present invention has been described and illustrated according to a preferred embodiment thereof, however, it should, be understood that anyone skilled in the art can make technically and/or functionally equivalent modifications and/or replacements- without departing from the scope of the present industrial invention.
